No. 7 Dance a Dini (7-2) switched to dirt and smartly graduated at this course and distance in his second career start. He was the favorite in a similar local spot on Nov. 6 and ended up landing the show behind a runaway winner. The lightly raced gelding can make amends as the tepid favorite. 

No. 9 Cold Shot (8-1) earned a decent speed rating in a wire-to-wire maiden sprint win in the state-bred special-weight ranks at Parx on Oct. 25, and the show finisher was a next-out winner. He drilled a local half-mile bullet on Nov. 16 and probably will try to make the lead. 

No. 3 Morethanafeeling (4-1) returned to dirt, chased the pace and finished a length in front of Dance a Dini on Nov. 6. He is a logical contender in his second start after a short layoff. 

No. 1 Rush Center (6-1) missed by a nose at this course and distance on Oct. 31. He should work out a ground-saving stalking trip under Paco Lopez.
